The new improved women's road race calendar, with events like the UK Women's Tour and La Course, provides some excellent opportunities for watching the world's best female cyclists ride in action. It also provides an ideal opportunity for some pro kit ogling.
With everyone from the top teams in the world to domestic teams upping their game with striking colours or unusual prints, this isn't just kit that stands out in the peloton – it's also kit that we want to wear.
Boels Dolmans
This eye-catching kit is produced by Specialized and worn by the likes of Lizzie Armitstead, Christine Majerus, Chantal Blaak and Evelyn Stevens Рthough to be fair Armitstead is mostly in the white and rainbow world champion stripes these days. It features an ombr̩ grade from orange to purple, and even has a matching helmet.

If you fancy channelling your inner Armitstead, you can get the kit yourself from Specialized. It retails at £100 / $150 for the SL Pro Jersey and £140 / $180 for the bib shorts.

Drops Cycling Team
Okay, we've sneaked this one in as Drops are an amateur team – but they have a professional attitude to cycling. They're also one of the few domestic teams racing in the UK Women's Tour. Drops Cycling Team have a distinctive look, but what else would you expect from a team sponsored by a design company? We like the vertical pastel stripes on the black background, and the fact that their turquoise helmets and Trek bikes coordinate.
